MUG SHOTS Brent Bruns II was addicted to pills and arrested often prior to Doomsday Castle

Doomsday Castle Brent Bruns II mugshot photos

National Geographic Channel’s new hit reality series Doomsday Castle is more than just a show about a man building a castle in the Carolina mountains in preparation for an EMP explosion that could cause civilization as we know it to come crashing down, creating a chaotic, post-apocalyptic neo-Medieval world where survival is based on resourcefulness and the size of your walls. (Although that’s a pretty damn big part of it!) The show is also about a father bringing his family together in a therapeutic, retreat-like setting in hopes that they will not only learn to get along better, but also use the experience to find focus and enhance the experiences in their lives outside the castle walls.

Nobody needed the “therapeutic” experience more than the self-described “black sheep of the family” Brenton Bruns II (photos above), who was struggling with a pill addiction when his dad invited him to work on the castle. “You’ll see the first few episodes I look pretty bad,” Brenton (who goes by “Brent”) tells Bay News 9 in his hometown of St. Petersburg, Florida. “It really took separating me from this location, from the party friends that I had, and going up to that mountain to that castle to kinda snap me out of a three year problem,” he says.

Here is Brent Bruns II’s Doomsday Castle intro clip from National Geographic Channel:

Prior to his three-year drug problem, Brent apparently had lots of other problems judging from the numerous mug shot photos we found of him taken from 2005-2009!

Here are all of Brent Bruns II’s mug shot photos (at least the ones we were able to track down online) in chronological order with the details (including the charges) listed beneath each:

SPOILER ALERT It seems that the Doomsday Castle experiment was quite the success as far as Brent Bruns II goes. He is currently living in St. Petersburg, Florida with his sister Lindsey (also a star on the show) where he runs a popular Facebook page dedicated to the Tamp/St. Pete area as well as managing the Dooomsday Castle Fan Page and serving as a consultant to WEN (Womens Erotic Network).

You can keep up with Brent personally at these links:

You can keep up with the rest of the family, as well as their progress on their mountain fortress, by watching new episodes of Doomsday Castle every Tuesday night at 10/9c on National Geographic Channel!
